KOREA'S VIRAL SKINCARE TREND
Tiny Needles in Your Skincare?
It sounds intense, but spicule skincare has become one of the most talked-about Korean home-care trends.
Known for its distinctive micro-tingling sensation, spicule skincare brings a professional-inspired treatment step into your everyday routine.
K-BEAUTY EXPLAINED
What Are Spicules?
Spicules are microscopic, needle-shaped structures commonly derived from hydrolysed sponge material.
When applied to the skin, these micro-structures create a distinctive prickling sensation while helping the formula work more effectively across the skin's surface.
Think of it as a more intensive skincare step designed for customers who want to move beyond a basic daily serum.

SPICULE SKINCARE FAQ
Before You Try It
What does a spicule serum feel like?
Spicule skincare has a distinctive fine prickling or tingling sensation. This is what makes it feel different from an everyday serum.
Is spicule skincare the same as microneedling?
No. Microneedling is a professional procedure performed with a device. Spicule skincare is a topical, non-device product used as part of an at-home skincare routine.
When should I apply the BOTA C Spicule Serum?
Apply it to clean, dry skin as the first skincare step before toner. Follow with the rest of your routine.
How often should beginners use it?
Begin with a small amount and introduce it gradually according to your skin's comfort. Avoid increasing the amount simply to create a stronger tingling sensation.
